I found some recipes for black beans and rice on About.com: Home Cooking. I love wild rice and black beans together, but I think you could use brown rice as well.

I have found that too, and I hate it. However, food items that are made in the store, such as bakery items, if you ask the people working behind the counter about the nutrition and calories, they will look it up for you. We ordered a birthday cake one time and we had to ask about that. I don't see a reason for them not to…

I couldn't have said it better myself, Laura. You're spot on. I have never had a weight problem until after the age of 50, and then BAM! Everything changed, and not for the better for me. After X number of years of smoking, starting to have health issues with my heart and then a bout with breast cancer. Inactivity can do…

My favorite bad food would be anything chocolate, but especially M&Ms peanut candy. I have learned to control how much I eat at one time though, so far...

Welcome to MFP! :flowerforyou: I quit smoking 17 months ago, so I know what you're going through. It's certainly not easy, but if I can do it, anyone can.
